Teachers can enhance pupil's performance by using different instructional materials. With these, an intervention material "GABAY SA MGA ARALING FILIPINO" was designed to address the low performance of Grade six pupils in Filipino.

The study was evaluated in terms of 75% index of mastery and the method or strategy was found effective based from the test conducted, and 75% mastery level was attained. The rate of retention was measured in terms of 75% criterion; the class obtained an average of 75% in the test. Comparison of the results of the pre-test and post-test were evaluated.
